Today was a day of relaxation, no driving, no jobs that HAD to be done…… pure bliss!
It took a bit of time to work out how things worked, first world issues like a different toaster, different coffee maker etc. Good news was that the internet came back, and is pretty fast and reliable.
After lunch we took a walk into town, a sort of boutiquey yuppie place with plenty of wine stores and hot spring spas. A little disconcerting to see notices on some of the shop doors proclaiming that the building was a masonry structure not built to the latest earthquake building standards, and should you seek shelter there during an earthquake then the risk is all on you!!
We managed a 2.1 mile walk, which will help reduce the bad news that the scales gave us this morning. I think it is impossible to travel in a car for a week and not put on any weight!
Tomorrow we head north to Eureaka, once there the sightseeing should startup in earnest.
